spending a couple of extra days in Copenhagen.
First up some suggestions from Tommy:Guide sites:http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/tourist
(main tourist site when visiting Cph)http://www.aok.dk/
(unfortunately mostly in Danish - but a main site... boat trips in the Copenhagen canals)
Strøget (shopping street, pedestrians only)
Tivoli Gardens (nice and quite old amusement park, also nice at
night)
Nyhavn (old houses, restaurants, pubs, old harbor)
Amalienborg (Royal palace)A lot of the public museums are free, as far as I remember.Travel Info:Copenhagen is not really big, so walking around is easy.
Busses/ferry-busses, S-trains and metro is also convenient within

Venue to be confirmed.Hopefully see you all on Friday.UPDATE: As of 11.30am on Thurs we are Myself, Lesley, Hendy + 1, Billy. If we get to 10 people before 8pm this eve we'll be on @ Bar 101 at 6.30pm

After 10 years in the web development business I finally have my first certification. The week before last I headed off to Copenhagen and attended the level two course. Happily I passed the certification test!I’d toyed with the idea of getting certified for some time but delayed due to the cost. After the announcement of umbraco.tv at codegarden my idea was to wait and take certification via this route to keep the costs down. I’d always been slightly dubious about certifications and considered them to be a venue stream for the product vendors. In a moment of assertive decision making I decided to go ahead and book based on the following:Umbraco is a great product. I’m happy to support it financially.I quite like Copenhagen and wanted to go

I'm back from Umbraco codegarden 2009 in Copenhagen with the
obligatory sunburn. I'm a lot lighter in the wallet but enriched
and nourished in terms of ideas and inspiration for web CMS.As the title says, this is a brief summary. I just sat down and
wrote up all of my mental notes from the conference and I realise
that I have more to do than I honestly have time for. I've
prioritised everything so that the commitments I made in open space
sessions are top of the list.Unfortunately for me Umbraco makes less than 5% of my
professional commitments so time is very precious but I've left
codegarden this year vowing to increase that 5% because I've
realised that I want to work with Umbraco a lot more.One of the ways to achieve

core team.
So, it was great to meet so many of you. I wish I had had a chance to meet many more of you. Copenhagen was a blast. I’m sunburned and tired now, but full of renewed enthusiasm for the Umbraco project. I hope to see you all again next
